Season 1

In 2009, a genetically enhanced, 9-year-old female super-soldier who calls herself Max Guevara (Jessica Alba), escapes along with 11 others like herself from a secret government institution, codenamed Manticore, where they were born, raised and trained to be soldiers and assassins.

On June 1, 2009, months after Max's escape, terrorists detonate an electromagnetic pulse weapon in the atmosphere over the U.S., which destroys the vast majority of computer and communication systems, throwing the country into utter chaos.

The first season begins 10 years later in 2019, as it follows the life of the now 19-year-old Max as she struggles to search for her Manticore brothers and sisters.

In a United States which is now barely more than a Third World nation, she tries to live her life, evade capture, and learn to trust and love.

She becomes involved with Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly), an underground cyber-journalist with the alias Eyes Only, who recruits her to help fight corruption in the post-Pulse world, while at the same time she makes a living as a bicycle messenger at a courier company named Jam Pony along with her friends Original Cindy (Valarie Rae Miller), Herbal Thought (Alimi Ballard) and Sketchy (Richard Gunn).
